Very misleading
Does not “teach” multiplication or division… it just throws numbers at you that your supposed to know if they are divisible or not by the number shown.. not appropriate or helpful for 3rd graders struggling to learn multiplication.
Un jeu éducatif divertissant
Factor Samurai est un jeu similaire à fruit ninja, le but est de couper des nombres qui sont factorisables et de ne pas trancher les nombres premiers afin d’avoir le plus haut score possible; le jeu est simple, intuitif et technique, surtout en mode maître, qui est vraiment challengeant. Je trouve intéressant le fait que, contrairement à fruit ninja, on ait des chances, ce qui rend le jeu moins punitif, puisque des fois, sous la panique, il peut arriver de toucher un nombre premier accidentellement. Je trouve aussi intéressant que l’on ait à trancher des nombres plusieurs fois ( par exemple 12 ce divisera en 4 et en 3, il faudra retrancher le 4 afin d’arriver à tous les nombres premiers). On regrettera des bugs, tels que des crashs ou encore le fait que, en mode maître le bouton rejouer ramène au niveau intermédiaire. Je n’ai également toujours pas compris à quoi servais le sabre doré. FactorSamurai excelle tout de même dans son objectif d’être un jeu éducatif amusant (ce qui est plutôt rare dans le milieu)

Can't mute sound in game
Other than that addictive!
1 change for 5 stars
This app is amazing. So many apps are just flash cards with a theme but this is different. Kids also get familiar with recognizing prime numbers quickly and just how composite some numbers are.
I REALLY wish I could increase the size of the numbers to 100 and beyond though. I would pay to upgrade even!

Great way to have fun learning math
I experienced a couple glitches, but love the game otherwise.
Fun app for kids or adults to learn and remember Prime numbers together with some math skills.
Fun game teaches Prime numbers, division and multiplication while being challenging and entertaining. Draws you in and keeps you coming back for more trying to beat your score.
Fantastically Fun and Deceptively Educational
This app has Samurais in it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once my child tried it, that's when the magic happened. It’s addicting and fun to play, and feels more like a video game than a math lesson. The artwork is also appealing, the music adds to the intensity with incredibly satisfying swiping sounds (ah the splat of a divisible number), and I liked being able to get new swords and faster number tosses as we progressed in the game. A great way for children to learn, or for an adult to dust up on, some fundamental math skills. Thank you, Factor Samurai, my child and I are now Times Table geniuses!

Fun and simple game
To be honest I haven't done math since I finished school, so my friend recommended this app as a fun way to "refresh number memories". I've been playing it frequently since. The game is easy to understand, quick to load, changes every round, and I don't feel shy playing it when I'm on on public transit :)

Everyday racism
It would be even better if it didn't use racial stereotypes as it's theme. This reinforces negative tropes. Too bad.
Fun and addictive
The gameplay style is a lot like Fruit Ninja. The one downside is that when numbers fly up off the screen and then return, it's too easy to accidentally hit them when swiping a different number. I have to avoid the top I the screen in order to survive. Otherwise it's a good game and a great way to learn primes! Bonuses like Fruit Ninja has (new weapons and backgrounds) would make it more addictive.
